I
think of it this way:
Axis
is essentially a servlet, and you deploy it in a WAR via the WEB-INF/web.xml
deployment descriptor.
Well,
how do you tell Axis what services to deploy?
The
Axis WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd deployment descriptor tells Axis what classes to
deploy as services and which classes to map to which WSDL (XML Schema) types
when the AxisServlet starts up (servlet init).

the service from the client’s point of view – it specifies the name of each
operation, and the format and encoding of the
message A WSDD file describes
the service from the runtime server’s point of view – it provides information
that the runtime server uses to process the requested operation. It must know
which provider to use (provider=”java:RPC|java:EJB|java:MSG|custom”), how to map the
message contents to Java objects (style, use, and any custom serializers), what class to load, and what method to invoke
for each message type. The WSDD provides this information.
The information in the
WSDD has to correspond to the information in the
WSDL. As a convenience, Axis
can auto-generate the WSDL for a service based on the information you specify in
the WSDD – but as a general best practice, you should define your WSDL first and
generate your service from the WSDL. See http://www.osmoticweb.com/axis-wsdd/
for more info on the WSDD. Anne From: pyounguk
cho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Hello, Could anybody
explain what deployment.wsdd file is for? Is it used to generate wsdl file on
the fly? Or, is it used to map and resolve runtime information necessary to
process each soap request sent to deployed
services? The answer
to the above question will help clarify what kind of information one
needs to put in the deployment.wsdd file. For instance, I am having
trouble deploying document-literal web services, whose root cause seems to
have to do with lack of entries in the wsdd file, and I feel completely
clueless. I am using Axis 1.2 beta running on tomcat 5.0.25 on
Redhat. Here is what I
have done so far. I need to create and deploy document-literal style web
services out of an existing wsdl file. It has operations that use message parts
of complex types wrapped as elements for both input and output.
I - generated
jax-rpc client stub and service skeleton using wsdl2java ant task from the
predefined wsdl file - created a
service class that implements the generated service
skeleton - composed a
.wsdd file with <wsdlFile> tag for the purpose of using the orignial
wsdl - deployed the
service using admin-client with .wsdd file and compiled jar
file - created a
client class that uses the
generated Locator/Stub
When running the
client, I've got a "No Such operation..." error. After searching the axis
mailinglist, I added <operation> element under the <service> with
name spaces. With that, I've got another
error:"org.apache.axis.InternalException: java.lang.Exception: The OperationDesc
for ws1 was not synchronized to a method of
foo.ServiceImpl". Now the question
is what more I need to put in the .wsdd file? When I want to use my wsdl file
instead of the one genererated by axis, how does it affect the runtime
behavior to specify values for, for instance, "style" and "use"
attribute in <service> element? How about
<wsdlTargetNamespace> or <operation> elements? Do I need to add
<typemapping> element for each schema definition in the wsdl file and
every class generated by wsdl2java spelling out all the (de)serializers? Does
Axis runtime look into the wsdl file before/after
server-config.wsdd? If anybody has
any ideas what went wrong in my steps or can pass me any pointer to useful
.wsdd reference manual, it will be appreciated. Composing deploy.wsdd would be
more straigtforward if Axis separates items for wsdl generation from
those for processing requests. Regards, Pyounguk |
